burns, a concussion, and a lacerated spleen. Of that crash, she said, "I wanted to go out and train so much. They told me to wait six weeks, and I waited three." On the morning of her victory at Infineon Raceway, she had taken shots of cortisone and Lidocaine for foot pain. Her parents, aware of the risks, won't allow her to go too far, while still pursuing her goals, explains her mother, Anita Myers, "she's very well balanced and just trying to take advantage of the opportunities that she has." Myers goals are to graduate to the AMA Daytona Sportbike Championship class, which would normally be the result of winning the AMA Pro SuperSport Championship. In the longer term she has her sights on the premier motorcycling class, MotoGP. Kawasaki's senior media relations coordinator Jeff Herzog said in 2007, "I think she's the fastest female road racer in (the United States), and she hasn't had a chance to stretch her wings yet." Personal life Myers graduated from high school on February 11, 2011. During high school she was a student. She took independent studies through California's Liberty High School District, at Independence High School in Brentwood, California. While still in school, Myers said that not going to a traditional high school meant that, "I miss out on dances and stuff, but who cares about that — I race motorcycles!" Myers lives in Discovery Bay, California, and trains at the Stockton Motorplex, where she first began on pocket bikes, at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, which is managed by her father, Matt. Matt Myers is a former amateur motorcycle racer who ran the Stockton Mini Road Racing Club. In November, 2015, Myers announced she was engaged to British motorcycle racer Dean Court. They were married in January 2016, she taking the married name Elena Myers Court.
